Am having problems using my scanner, a HP Colour Laserjet CM1312 MFP printer connected via USB. I plugged it in, the printer portion works perfectly fine. Simplescan can't find a scanner and I quickly figured out that everything to do with scanning has to be done by root. Even then, I still can't scan using root. "sane-find-scanner" outputs an error, while "scanimage -L" works. Simplescan and xsane both doesn't work.
Output from sane-find-scanner & scanimage -L:
